PART B

There are four separate subsidiary projects allied to THE MARTINSEY ISLE TRUST. Each of these separate projects has its own bank account and there is one further account where funds are allocated between each of the four projects as appropriate.
These are :

THE GLASTONBERRY ROSE PROJECT (honouring all beliefs) – The work specific to this project is:

To promote, publish and engage in sacred research, particularly into pre- and proto-Christianity and issues pertaining to immortality;

Through creative articles;

Talks;

The Numex research and gematria of the Bible design programme

To work with others to re-awaken the sacred seed and catalyst of Christianity, and of other faiths, set forth in Britain before the 1st Century BCE

THE ART OF DYING PROJECT – The work specific to this project is:

Releasing taboo, denial and fear around death for all

Making dying less isolating

Ensuring that informed choice is available to all

Helping locate resources

Validating personal and professional experiences of death, loss and fear

Acting as a vehicle for sharing personal history with family, friends and the community in ways not otherwise open, prior to such work

Offering a less threatening way to do this through the Arts and theatre in particular

Opening dialogue universally

Bringing new perspectives to local, regional and national debate in public, professional and lay person’s domain and language

Helping to change society’s view of death, dying and the continuity of consciousness

Championing ecological, social entrepreneurial and spiritual approaches to death, dying and disposal

Reaching those people who do not typically engage in the Arts and those less likely to be represented or involved in care, education and decision making

Acting as part of the cathartic, healing process

Helping to ensure a blessèd death for all

THE GLASTON ROSE LAND PROJECT is for the proposed burial ground

to purchase and care for Martinsey as a pustinia – a place of sacred care and learning

A resource list and Booklet, available to members and the general public alike of those committed to working in death, dying and bereavement and beyond with spiritual intention and awareness

An annual gathering for its members to support one another and network together

A festival day for its members, professionals, volunteers and the general public to share, and disseminate information and to raise awareness about everything we need to consider when we, or those we care about and for, are dying or grieving and beyond
